Help Save the Manatees in Puerto Rico - Ep. 57 RAN Sailing

[@RANSailing]

Hope you liked this episode guys! This one took more time than usual to edit so hope you appreciate it and that you also get inspired by the people in the Manatees center. They were so passionate and really put their heart into their work and what an important work it is! We also have some cool stable shots in this episode, it's our new GoPro5 with the Karma Grip :) Last but not least you finally see some salsa moves, haha :)

[@cawfeedawg]

Thanks for giving the manatees a platform. I was anchored last year in Salinas PR last year and the long mangrove canals were full of these lovely animals..

[@VetTails]

RAN Sailing so awesome to see another sailing video promoting something more! Amazing filming with the manatees it looks like a really well run organisation!

[@konakrab9983]

We really enjoyed this episode. Enjoyed the Live Cam this morning too. My first ever! We would love to meet up with you when you come to Hawaii. We are on the Big Island of Hawaii. If you come to either Kona or Hilo, we would come and meet with you. Love to show you the island "Local Way". Volcano and wonderful secrete spots. We will continue to follow you, and touch base before you make the crossing. Happy Birthday, and enjoy your time at home. - Kona Krab - I.E. The Crabtrees - Aloha!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching and we're glad you liked it! Salinas is a hot spot for the Manatees :)

[@RANSailing]

Thank you! :) It's a really good organisation that has a lot of collaborations with other organisations around the world!

[@WindedVoyage]

Well done on showing how The Manatee Center is helping these gentle beings. The one who lost its lungs and was using to ball to float was sad yet sweet. Thanks for going to Puerto Rico, a little bit off the cruising path.

[@allsearpw3829]

Bruises are free and nature heals them ,now shabby is locked up and will remain with you, Great video

[@Jakfilm]

I love manatees. We swam with them in Florida when my son was about 12. They were very interested in us and wouldn't stop giving us affection. Now at 23 he still says it was the best day of his life.

[@pnwesty7174]

Watching the manatee "play" with his ball was both incredibly cute and incredibly heartbreaking. Thanks, guys.

[@RANSailing]

I know! :) Such a cutie and we feel so bad for him :(

[@nheeren1]

That was great! Thanks for all the information about the manatees. Someone loves dancing... :)

[@RANSailing]

I loooove dancing! Malin, that is :)

[@davidc6510]

Wonderful video about the manatees! I really enjoy seeing the conservation center and learned a bit more about these gentle creatures. Thanks for sharing!

[@davidnichols147]

Beautiful! I ran from Jacksonville to San Juan with Red Stack Towing in 1973. Then from Elizabeth Port to San Juan with Sealand & PRIMMI on container ships between 1987-1998.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Loved this video.

[@Mikey101160]

Thank you.

[@SuperLaplander]

Very nice episode, great editing. Manatees are cool animals, well worth saving I sensed that Malin wanted a partner with a slightly larger interest in dancing.

[@xavierdebeuf5776]

all people with a big hart for our wildlife... i fucking love it! lots of respect. lots of it! good on you guys. Nice video, as always.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Xavier :)

[@dianes4858]

Such great videos always. It a pleasure to watch what you film, and the music is wonderful too. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us.

[@davidnichols147]

I love this video of the Manatee pool.

[@froogal8887]

On Froo Gal we always like to learn how to save money -- great tips, many thanks and well done. Fair winds, Skipper Froo.

[@frankrice5364]

good move 10 dollars is 10 dollars keep living the smiles guys .....thank you for taking the time to make your video,s and sharing them

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

Once upon a time, I travel a lot. Thank you for revealing roads less traveled.

[@donjohnston3776]

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. Your cinematography is distinct and adds to the painting of your story.

[@winterfreak1]

Wow! What an amazing job with this video. Great information on the manatees and the walk through Old San Juan was beautiful. I am in the process of looking for a condo in P.R. towards the south side maybe in Fajardo or Humacao while prices are affordable. Thank you for all your hard work, I really enjoy your travel videos.

[@corysherman6087]

Thanks for sharing your visit to a beautiful island

[@Lilou34650]

I'm looking forward every time to your videos and has never been disappointed. Your sail videos are by far the best ... and for the publishing of the Manatee project my heart belongs to you anyway.

[@ansbas]

Thanks for the great video. Always great to see you both living a dream.....

[@dalegraham4058]

An artistic achievement! You don't capture the aesthetic as much as revealing beautiful images almost theatric at times. The music complements curious angle and use of light. Brava. The narrative is a treat to the ears- at one point awkward and the next moment intimate. I sail. You sail. I like cinema. You produce cinematic Vignettes. Scheherazade lives by telling a story of two that face challenges with grace. Thank you so much.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you so much Dale! :) Makes us very happy and we're glad you appreciate our videography :) All the best!

[@Maveryksllc]

totally awesome guys!! love your videos and hope to follow in your path very soon!!

[@theaquacrew4408]

love to see my homeland with you guys thanks for the visit. come back again another time ps. love your channel

[@jimjenkins673]

Love that you guys walk so much, you experience so much more being out in it as you travel. Thanks for another great one.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Without paying,....you rebels hahaha 👍😂. Loved the manatee sanctuary, they've doing a great job, thumb's up on the video👍.

[@charlesstovall4238]

Have been catching up on your videos and they are absolutely outstanding. Your descriptions and explanations are fantastic. I really have enjoyed your travels through the Caribbean because it brought back lots of awesome memories when I sailed the Grenadines and the BVIs with my family. You are doing a fantastic job and it is great that you could do it at such a young age. And the music that you select to accompany your videos is top notch and fits so appropriately. Do you per chance have a listing of the music that you select. Anyhow, enjoy your rest on the hard and all the best when you return to the blue. May God speed.

[@andypennybrown6848]

thanks for your patience! Wonderful and very enjoyable. ..I think that you ought to get hired by a tv network they're so good and professional.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Niiiice !! Thank you for the Manatee info as well as some of the San Juan history.😊👍👌⛵️⚓️⛵️⚓️

[@raynic1173]

Great video guys, really good camera work, editing and content. Nice job on the slow-mo editing and mentioning the marine org.

[@RANSailing]

Glad you liked it :)

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks for the cool video, I really liked the fort, the drawings of the ships in the prison, We see a lot of manatees here in Florida, my dog and I go fishing and watch them they are so graceful, and beautiful. Those tacos look like they're great! Thank you so much for sharing some of your adventures with us. We really love you two, always your fans SMOOTH SAILING

[@ablubrd]

Luv Manatees...bravo & tks for sharing!😎

[@EcoEarthNut]

Great video! Thank you for sharing details about the manatee conservation and rescue!

[@wilfrennecke9501]

Love your episodes, you are great people. Love you, take care !!!

[@charlize841]

You outdid yourselves on this video, big thumb's up.

[@bluewaterdreamin5034]

Thank you guys for another great episode. I really appreciate all the work that you put into each one, and always look forward to seeing what you have been doing. Thanks for telling us all about the Manatees too, very interesting. Such lovely gentle creatures. Cheers.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@mikenewzealand4525]

I love it that's exactly what I would have done with shabby its amazing what you can get away with sometimes maybe they took pity on shabby!? And decided the owners couldn't afford the over priced charge .Love you guys!

[@RANSailing]

We think they don't really care :) But they should remove the charge anyway! Way too expensive!

[@smoothsailing7773]

Puerto Rico has so much to see!...if you get a chance, go to the Northwest to Aguadilla, and Southwest to la Parquera Bay, and thru Ponce to El Yunque. Great island, great people, lots to see. Bueno suerte!! Loved your video!

[@BRZZ-xw4hd]

wow... you guys r living the dream .. awesome vid ..peace out ✌

[@danielhoyle3546]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed the Manatee story. Your photography is great. Thank you.

[@capecaution6288]

WOW!!!! loved this.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

This is my favorite video of all the ones you have done. The Castillo (fort) is so much like the Castillo in St. Augustine, Florida. My middle name is Castillo. I was named after my father's best friend who was from Panama.

[@moz1953]

wonderful vlogging guys - you too supply character and soul, be well be safe

[@RANSailing]

Thanks a lot Moz :)

[@bluejuice57]

Great filming again guys, also good to watch on a Saturday morning with a coffee onboard my own yacht "TAO"

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sailnsurfthurman9263]

So cool you are in SJ. I stayed in that Caribe Hilton before. Nice place!

[@FreeUpLife]

very nice episode! loved the section about manatees! thank you for some education about those beautiful animals ;)

[@bengt_axle]

Those tacos look sooooo good! As you are back in Sweden, I hope you'll have some time to show us Malmo and the Swedish countryside. How about on your bike, in Swedish (with English subtitles!) with your friends?

[@RANSailing]

We'll be filming from Sweden and show some of our favorite places from Malmö and around :)

[@bengt_axle]

Well that's terrific! We are looking forward to seeing the videos. And also those of RAN on the hard, getting prepped for the next voyage. You know we will be watching how you wrench in a new anode! ;)

[@leopoldoalvarado2717]

Great video guys it made me love my beautiful Puerto Rico even more gracias/Thank you

[@BastienKoert]

Another excellent episode!

[@raulrosado6300]

AWESOME Video! Right at the end (18:08 - 18:11) there are 2 vehicles with blue lights and another SUV chasing. I am pretty sure that is the Governor Of Puerto Rico. He lives in Old San Juan.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Raul! That could be :) We walked by his house when we were there :)

[@frederickoning191]

A great tour and exceptional narration.

[@ArkadiuszStecyk]

You guys remind me this place when I visited this island with my wife and friend of us in 2014 on Carribean tour on MV Carnival Conquest. We enjoyed a lot and could definitely recommend to all other travelers as a "must see" place. Hope to return there soon or later for some time. Cheers and greetings from Poland

[@MrPhil1812]

great video as always guys.

[@RANSailing]

Thank you :)

[@laurentfroggy6631]

great video. The best I've seen from San Juan, and your doc.. on the manatees. Many thanks for sharing and best from HKG

[@RANSailing]

Thanks a lot Laurent :)

[@billkaroly]

it was fun watching this video and comparing it to Sailing Uma's.

[@jimjenkins673]

Lovely.....everything. ,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,fair winds.

[@lastniceguy1]

Beautiful video! Looks really dangerous to cross a street there. Held my breath both times! ;o)

[@RANSailing]

Thanks! :) It was really dangerous and that traffic light has been broken for a long time!

[@jackneff179]

Nice one guys!!!!! Jack

[@josefernandez6226]

Malin, your Spanish pronunciation is excellent!

[@RANSailing]

Gracias! :)

[@josefernandez6226]

RAN Sailing De nada!

[@henryfranqui3290]

nice video...am from Puerto Rico..but I live in New york..city..

[@alansailing1387]

The only problem with leaving shabby locked to the wall like that is that someone might steal the lock and shabby might drift away.

[@RANSailing]

Hahahaha :)

[@bophoto]

ROFL no wonder shabby went awol later with this kinda comments. LOL

[@CITAP1]

Very good video guys. The fort was cool and the Manatee research center too.

[@colliesworld6380]

Omg when he was playing float with the ball that was the cutest thing ever. Is this a place where woman are equal?

[@axelrosa2583]

Love the video❤️❤️

[@derrickjohnston7181]

as always nice work

[@chrisdorrington858]

Excellent video ESP the manatee section, I think there are manatees in Queensland .

[@LamboAventadordude]

If you guys ever decide to sail up the eastern coast of the United States let me know! I live on the coast of South Carolina and would love to meet up with you guys!

[@JCAJCA3]

Very nice video. Very well done. JC

[@michaeldouglas6872]

Ha ha..hilarious. Johan trying to dance salsa ...good for him though giving it a try with you there in San Juan. Hopefully he didn't reinsure your toe by stepping on your feet too much with his dance moves :P

[@thomaswilkinson6276]

Well done Vlog. I have been wondering what happened to your wind and aqua generators. Haven't seen them aboard and operating for some time.

[@RANSailing]

We still use the wind a lot but the towing mostly for longer passages!

[@normanboyes4983]

I loved this video, so well done. Great filming and beautifully edited. The section on the Manatees was interesting and very touching. However, the editing did not manage to disguise Johan's stuttering salsa dancing - although he gave a very competent performance of 'Dad dancing' 😉👍

[@AlexandreSantos-df2ld]

In Brazil it is called "peixe boi". It's like a water cow. hahahaha There are some where I live.

[@RANSailing]

That's what we call them in Swedish too! Sjöko :)

[@jackmead6166]

On your last videos, 03/2021, you guys mentioned possibly returning to the Caribbean........I know that your plans are not solid yet?? I just wanted to let you know that for those who are fully Vaccinated........the CDC, of the United States have loosened the traveling restrictions........ Questions....would you guys possibly be doing any type of Meet and Greet in the Caribbean? Thank you for all!!!!!

[@LouiseSabineP]

Love your Marine Nationale shirt Johan, did you get it in Brittany? That's where I'm from :) Have a great time back in Sweden both!

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Louise! I bought it in the Maritime Museum in Cherbourg :) Great place! Cheers Johan

[@davidnichols147]

Looks like Johann loves to dance Salsa?

[@magnusb6311]

Great video as usual. What happened to this weekends live? It never happened?

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Magnus! We did the live chat this Saturday. Sorry you missed it!

[@magnusb6311]

ah ya ya, just thought one could Watch afterwards... apperantly it goes away after the live transmission is over. Good job anyhow. Cheers

[@RANSailing]

We make it unlisted and share the video with our patrons. Hope you can make it next time! :)

[@lorenherve3258]

Hi Guy's love your vlog. Is that a sunken boat shadow under your dinghy? Bon vent#2sailingchefs

[@ralphfolden3273]

Very Nice :)

[@kyle1520]

Guacara needs a manatee life vest! :)

[@genedaily9092]

Very nice Video

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Gene! :-)

[@Paultschoppmota]

So, what I get from this video is: Johan isn't good at Salsa dancing or at pronunciating "dungeon" :) Just kidding, awsome videos as always, and really liked the visit to de Manatin rescue center. Are you guys happy with the Karma Grip, is there any learning curve? Keep those videos coming!

[@shteve5143]

10 mins to cross the street?? Should have hit the crosswalk button lol. Great video!

[@RANSailing]

The traffic light was broken and has been for months :)

[@abbastabatabaie9321]

I thought the same thing, but if you look again, you'll see that the crosswalk lights were off. After all, we're talking Puerto Rico. We just bailed them out by infusing 50 Billion dollars in to their economy, because they have corrupt politicians and no one pays taxes (they all work under the table), so the infrastructure will suffer.

[@davidnichols147]

Not easy getting out of Shabby?

[@qristv1912]

funny watching manatee playing and floating with the ball=]

[@AlsinoFerreira]

cool video

[@RANSailing]

Mashi danki! :)

[@ClaiomSolis]

Gotta remember that most soldiers were not that tall due to malnourishment, lack of food, etc.

[@Ringele5574]

At the end of the video.... "we took the risk of leaving Shabby in the marina without paying".... You think you weren't caught, but no one had the heart to complain after seeing him... lol

[@christophersharpe3201]

Sweet

[@zyandruid5942]

hey love your videos! I have a question how do you guys earn your money is it just youtube?

[@Nosecrusher]

Mmmmm Sizzler!

[@henryfranqui3290]

oooohhhh....yeah if you like....ziplined...puerto Rico has the longest and highest in the world...is in..a town..call...orocovis..the park is call...toro verde...

[@garygerard4290]

saving $10 is great

[@austingode]

Poor guy!

[@Pfsif]

Seminole Indians and early Floridians use to eat Manatees, they say they taste like veal.

[@TheLoner801]

1:21 A gentleman would have helped a lady up.

[@billkaroly]

TheLoner801 hard to video and help a lady up I guess.

[@9mmjames653]

I was wondering the same thing

[@nheeren1]

It is the Viking way. :)

[@panteleon1]

nice place, it should be the richest state instead its the poorest shame

[@winterfreak1]

Not a State yet. If it becomes one it will go along ways to help residents with funding and getting the economy back on its feet. Tourism can only do so much.

[@Ok-551]

Great job. Best sailing channel left after La Vaga went Madison Avenue and Delos turned Dog the Bounty Hunter.

[@myswan47]

Hej, I love all that you do and show. Super excellent. May I say one thing? Please take better care of your pronunciation. Especially Johan. " I just" is not pronounced " I yust". "Donjon" is not pronounced "Donyon"! thanks and fair wind

[@RANSailing]

Thank you. We're doing the best we can with the English considering it's not our native language. Some words are harder to pronounce than others. Here's a tricky one in Swedish: "sju sjösjuka sjömän" :)

[@myswan47]

Thanks for your answer guys. I hope that I do not offend you. Not at all, as a matter of fact, I do think that you are doing so fine on all the fronts. Just (not Yust) is such a very very easy one to get rid off! Not to worry, Jag kan den Svenska "sju sjösjuka sjömän" också och jag kan faltiskt säga det också. Tack för härliga vid och härlig stämning med Er! Vore fint om Ni pratade lite om utrustningen?! Eller? Ha det så bra and all my best wishes to you. Vill Ni se min båta? Här: facebook.com/farouche.swan

[@allengrant]

RAN Sailing : No worries about your English. You speak it better than many in these United States. If anything... it adds more charm to your already top-notch videos.... if that's even possible. I'm trying to catch up, and have seen all of them up to this one, with absolutely NO problem understanding what you're saying. You're in my top 3 subs, producing them YOUR WAY....exactly as you see fit. Good for you. I personally think Nick (Ruby Rose) (another of my favourites) is also a bit misunderstood using his native colloquialisms, but I wouldn't have him or Terysa do it any other way either. Filmography, Editing, Passion, Locations, and keeping it real works !! Just keep doing what you're doing! FW and God Bless.
